[Renew Deal]

1. Take back congress and you get President Pelosi.

It's an improvement.

[liberalpress]

3. So before we do this impeachment thang...

...we gotta wait til 2006 and hope like hell Diebold doesn't get us.

[Renew Deal]

4. You're quite a pessimist.

[liberalpress]

7. I wasn't till Diebold stole it in '04

2. arrrggh

I just ran out of the room screaming! The great thing about Nixon was that Agnew had previously been run out of town on a rail.

5. Right. I've been thinking about that, too...

Gerald Ford wasn't much, but could you have imagined President Agnew?? Aggghhhhhhhh.....

6. Impeachment is not possible

There's too strong of a GOP majority in Congress. Maybe some would be pressured to vote for impeachment, but I doubt there would be enough of them. What we can do is discredit the Bush Administration so much that voters wouldn't take it anymore, and paving the way for the 2006 and 2008 elections.

8. either would strap the GOP to a terrible legacy in 2008....

Remember when Nixon left office, we got Ford, but the GOP's name was mud, at least for a while. Impeachment would be a resounding vote of no confidence in the entire neocon agenda, and it would bring them down in the next election or two. Then it would be up to another party, presumably the dems, to capitalize on that advantage and learn from the mistakes that have brought us to the edge of fascism so quickly. I don't know if the current dem leadership is up to that task, but ANY blow to the GOP would be welcome at this point.

11. The GOP's name was mud, but I

personally never connected with Carter's overt souther-baptistness, his drawl, or his wonderful talk about a post-industrial economy.

Then the dems were ousted--I'm not sure blackbox voting can be blamed on this one--for 12 years. Reagan for 8, Bush I for 4.

We went from a major blow to Nixonian politics to Reaganism in 4. Ouch.

[mike_c]

12. yeah, that's why I emphasized the importance...

...of capitalizing on the advantage to create real reforms that would prevent the party of greed from scrabbling back into power in another election cycle. You're right-- Carter was not up to that, despite my unbounded respect for him. He was simply not the right president for that time, and Reagan's election proves the point, IMO.

17. i liked Carter

and if you recall, it was the same dirty dealings of the people in power right now that cost Carter a second term. you know, - hostage deals, iran-contra, etc.

9. Senselessbrenner will not allow investigation

So, we can't even begin proceedings until 2007 when a new, hopefully Democratic, Congress convenes. If that happens we will have a majority leader, Nancy Pelosi, who will be second in line.

[SnoopDog]

10. The impeachment process would include the VP and a few others...

They are all guilty of this evilness.

Unfortunately, it might end before Hassert - he would take over.

Unless we can prove election fraud (we all know it - it too would take a smoking voting machine) and mandate a new election. Unprecented...

13. Impeachments properly done can tie the neo-cons in

knots for years. If the criminal was appointed, no need to impeach. Just arrest them for war crimes.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

14. The good thing about President Dick Cheney:

10% approval ratings.

[Hello_Kitty]

15. My problem - and this is sad to say but true I fear

Is that the uninformed sheeple of Amurka will assume that any attempt to impeach the chimperor will be based more on a desire to retaliate for Clinton's impeachment than on his actual malfeasance, which they don't really know about anyway.

[burythehatchet]

16. Actual impeachment is simply the icing

the investigation and deliberation is the key.

[Gold Metal Flake]

18. Prez Cheney is what we have now.

I have done a 180 on this. A flip flop, if you will. Bring down Bush and you bring down Cheney and the cabinet. Because they are ALL in this together and none can distance themselves. Cheney's foul fingerprints are all over the fixed intelligence, that is why Ray McGovern pointed out his unprecedented trips to the CIA to cook the data. They will all go down. What will be left will be under investigation and turmoil will reign. The executive branch will be in complete disarray.

What will happen following impeachment? Lets find out!
